Start your day with this warm and cozy bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal. This stovetop recipe delivers a creamy texture and comforting flavor in under 10 minutes, making it the perfect quick breakfast for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats work best)
  • 2 cups water or milk (use milk for extra creaminess)
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and diced small
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Toppings: Chopped pecans, extra cinnamon, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine the diced apple, water or milk, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the apples simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until they begin to soften slightly.
  3. Stir in the rolled oats and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches your desired creamy consistency.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  5. Divide the oatmeal into bowls. Add your preferred toppings immediately before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use water or a plant-based milk like almond or soy milk.
  • To make this gluten free, select certified gluten free rolled oats.
  • For a thicker, richer texture, substitute half of the liquid with unsweetened applesauce.
  • You can prepare the sautéed apples ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to three days.
